Bont Sub-8 Triathlon Shoe

The Bont sub-8 combines industry leading strength to weight ratio, industry leading low stack height, Bont’s unique shoehorn and our anatomical design concepts to create one of the most unique triathlon shoes currently available.

With its 100% Carbon Monocoque construction the sub-8 is able to provide the most direct power transfer platform currently available. The performance benefits of the Bont sub-8 together with its heat molding properties allowing users to fully customize the shoes fit makes this model one of the premier shoe choice of elite triathletes.

Cleat Micro Grid

The cleat micro grid has been included to provide riders with the ability to fine tune their cleat placement.

Shoe Horn

Large shoe horn has been fitted for simple and fast entry into shoe.

Heel Protector

Heel guards have been designed to protect shoes through transition areas whilst maintaining maximum grip.

memory foam

Sub-8 is fitted with high density memory foam with dry cell technology to ensure mimimum water retention in wet conditions.

medial Longitudinal Arch Support

Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet.

Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries.

In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain.

Anatomical Forefoot Shape

Conventional cycling shoes offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common "hot foot" sensation.

Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area.

Anatomical Heel Cup

The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation of over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation.

Lateral Forefoot Support

Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.
